Dragon Tamer

Chapter 423: Chapter 425: The Predator’s Respite
At four meters in size, it was already quite stocky for the majority of Lizard Water Monsters.

Given that the Lizard Water Monsters’ physical strength was far inferior to that of the Little Black Dragon, and now that the Little Black Dragon had significantly grown in muscle and bone, its Dragon Skin was comparable to hard leather armor made of several layers of animal hide stitched together, the short and fat, bloated claws of the Lizard Water Monsters couldn’t hurt the Little Black Dragon at all.

The Little Black Dragon opened its mouth and roared furiously!

The intense Sonic Boom created a huge fan-shaped area that not only fiercely tore the ground at the city gate but also caused the heads of those crowded Lizard Water Monsters to explode on the spot!

After dealing with the Lizard Water Monsters gathered at the city gate, the Little Black Dragon charged forward a distance, grabbing the rock sculptures laid around and smashing them toward the Lizard Water Monsters.

The Lizard Water Monsters swarmed in groups but were completely no match for the ferocity of the Little Black Dragon, which quickly killed more than twenty of them…

However, there were a great many Lizard Water Monsters in this wetland area, and beneath the Winter Reed Grass, some even larger Lizard Water Monsters were lurking, including some that had cultivated for a thousand years, known as Demon Spirits.

High above, the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon spotted a Demon Spirit with a Cultivation Base of one thousand seven hundred years, it flapped its wings and flew straight towards the Demon Spirit that was about to break through the hedge wall.

There were several dozen fishermen’s households behind the hedge wall, and the Demon Spirit was clearly targeting the families of these farmers.

As the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon flew far away, a Lizard Water Monster with a thousand years of Cultivation Base crawled out from under the reeds. It led a group of forty to fifty Lizard Water Monsters and began attacking the area behind the city gate, where the population was most dense!

The Thousand-Year Brook Devil was seven meters long; it was a Giant Lizard Demon with a body emitting red and green light and even scales growing on the back of its head.

Scales are one of the characteristics of Dragons.

It charged at the Little Black Dragon. This Giant Lizard Demon was like a siege engine designed to smash through city gates, and the Little Black Dragon was pushed backward by the impact, stopping only when it collided with the city wall.

The city wall shook unsteadily, feeling like it would collapse directly from a few more charges by the Giant Lizard Demon.

The Little Black Dragon let out an angry roar, once again enshrouded in the Ancient Dark Aura. This rich ancient aura made the Little Black Dragon appear to instantly grow several times larger and more imposing, its swinging claws packed even more terrifying destructive power!

Amid the swirling Ancient Dark Aura, the Little Black Dragon used its two claws to press the Giant Lizard Demon’s head into the ground before yanking it up and slamming it heavily into the group of smaller Lizard Monsters that were charging at it.

Lifting one Dragon foot, it stomped heavily on the ground, causing shockwaves to ripple out. The ripples that carried pulverizing and concussive force passed through those small Lizard Monsters, instantly ripping their bodies apart.

Taking a deep breath, the Little Black Dragon’s chest swelled.

It released a breath of Dragon’s Breath violently, and it was visible how the Ancient Dark Aura turned into a sweeping black torrent of wild energy, its lightning-fast passage lifting the Giant Lizard Demon and the Lizard Water Monsters and turning them into a mist of blood midair!

The enemy’s blood splattered on the Little Black Dragon, and the pungent smell of blood was gradually stimulating the bloodlines deep within the Little Black Dragon.

Its claws became sharper, the Ancient Dark Aura on its body thickened, and even its bones crackled, growing stronger as if in the midst of battle!

This was Ancient Dragon Bravery!

With each enemy killed, the predator’s power grew, its expended energy was replenished in a brief span, and its explosive strength increased dramatically!

In just this brief moment, the Little Black Dragon had already slain over thirty Lizard Water Little Demons.

If it could slaughter the Giant Lizard Demon as well, the power of the Ancient Dragon Bravery would receive another explosive increase!

The Little Black Dragon had completely entered the state of a predator, fierce and fearless. Facing those Lizard Water Monsters with a Cultivation Base of less than five hundred years, it was essentially a massacre. Only the more advanced Lizard Water Monsters, which had cultivated for seven to eight hundred years, could withstand a few rounds, but they ultimately couldn’t escape their fate of being killed.

The muddy marsh, which should have aided the Lizard Water Monsters in their surge towards the city, gradually became an obstacle to their escape.

In the marsh mud, the Little Black Dragon was even faster. Its Azure Dragon bloodline allowed it to even launch an assault using the mud to amplify its pounce and bite.

The force of this water-breaking pounce and bite was three to four times the usual, and it also enhanced the bite force. It allowed for the maximum deployment of its fangs, not to mention it could perfectly clamp the enemy’s throat from a bottom-up angle!

Facing the Giant Lizard Demon, the Little Black Dragon burst out of the marsh water, biting the throat of the Giant Lizard Demon and using the force of its descent to flip it onto the ground!

Azure Dragon’s water-breaking bite, a vice of death that no predator could escape. Blood gushed from the neck of the Giant Lizard Demon, quickly staining the swamp water red.

The Giant Lizard Demon flipped onto the ground, its body writhing insanely. Its strength was astonishing, but the bite of the Azure Dragon remained unmoved, and it was in a spot where the Giant Lizard Demon couldn’t thrash itself free…

The Giant Lizard Demon struggled for a long time, its body beginning to spasm.

The Little Black Dragon still didn’t move, and it wouldn’t let go until it was completely devoid of breath.

Finally, the Giant Lizard Demon also stopped moving, its entire seven-meter long body soaked in the bloody water.

Only then did the Little Black Dragon slowly loosen its grip, its black fangs smeared with shocking traces of blood, which dribbled down its lower jaw.

Rising to its full height, another successful hunt enveloped its entire body, not only in the terrifying Ancient Dark Aura but also in a crimson frenzy of predatory breath!!

The surrounding Lizard Water Monsters, all under five hundred years old and who had already circled around, were so terrified by the Little Black Dragon’s once again surging momentum that they plunged their heads into the mud, their short limbs flailing desperately to flee the scene!!

“Kua~~~~~~~~~~”

A strange roar came from the dark depths of the Reed Marsh.

Originally fleeing Lizard Water Monsters, for some unknown reason, gained bravery once again.

The Yellow Leaf Grass was as thick as autumn’s wheat, they began to sway violently, and then, one after another, groups of Red-Necked Lizard Water Demons emerged; their eyes were red as well…

Unlike the other Lizard Water Monsters, these Red-Necked Lizard Water Demons knew no fear. They didn’t attack one by one; instead, they formed a hunting tactic, well-trained!

Soon, they had the Little Black Dragon surrounded and attacked from all angles.

Fighting with them, the Little Black Dragon found killing them wasn’t as easy as the previous Lizard Water Monsters. Fortunately, under the influence of the Ancient Dark Aura and the frenzied predatory breath, the Little Black Dragon was not afraid to face a hundred alone. It was as if it fell into a dense pond of lizards, but it still maintained its ferocious fighting spirit!!
